Having problems with your Canon PowerShot S70 Digital Camera ?

Installed norton 360 v4.0 and now photos from canon cameras will not upload - devices are not recognised. how do I fix?

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.\012\012\012

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

You didn't say what operating system you are using in your PC. If you have Windows XP or later follow these instructions. Since you apparently have the driver and software on a CD, unplug the camera from your PC, remove the camera software from the P ...

For no apparent reason, my GE A835 camera failed to upload photos. I tried everything I could think off to fix the problem but get stonewalled by windows vista telling me that this camera doesn't exist on my system.
The camera never came with an installation disc as it was a plug and play device.
I tried to find an official GE website from where I could download the driver but, alas, no luck.
Can you help me please? I have a load of photos on the camera which I would like to get onto my compu

I own a Canon power shot SD790 IS and I've been using wonderfully for the past few months Last weekend when I turned on my camera to view some pics I noticed a little blue screen on the corner of my camera in when I take pictures and upload them to the camera the blue spot doesn't show up on the pictures thank God but it's on my LCD screen and it seems internal I don't know if it's dead pixel or a lens problem can this be fixed at home please help I can't send it back because I ordered it online

It seems to be a dead pixel, best thing would be to have it replaced from the Seller, else you can get it replaced with a new working lcd panel. This may be an expensive solution.Check whether you have a worldwide warranty from Canon, that will help ...

Digital cameras Having followed palmbeaches instructions re uploading photos from my canon A530 to my acer laptop, Ive had no joy. The computer doesnt appear to recognise the camera. I turned on the computer, plugged in the camera , turned it on and zip. The software is installed as it appears on startup with the other programmes. Am I beyond hope?

My computer no longer detects my canon A570 camera. I have done all of the usual fixes such as usb cable, etc. I have reinstalled the software and everything else works. On the scanners and cameras tab it doesn't show the camera as a device. I am running the windows Vista OS.
Thanks

If you're saying that when you connect the camera to your computer and computer wont even recognize that a new device is connected to it, the problem here can be with your USB port on the computer , just to doible check did you try connecting a diffe ...

My Canon Powershot A560 memory card is locked and it is the camera doing it not the memory stick.And there is nothing in the manual about how to fix it.

The first time i used a USB cable and the second time i inserted the card into the computer but that dint work either . help !

I have Canon Rebel XTI. When I connected it to a USB port, the AutoPlay in Windows Vista came up and asked what I wanted to do with the pictures. I always selected copy to a specific folder.
Now, however, Vista tries to load a the drivers for the Canon and cannot find them. It does not look at the camera as a simple storage device now, but this is what I want.
I went through various fixes, including and installing the latest drivers and software, but to no avail.
Some sites suggested

Have you tried to open the files thru windows explorer? Try to locate the drive letter associated with the Rebel XTI. Open that drive by double clicking it and it will show you the file contents. Browse thru the folders inside until you find the p ...

My Canon EOS Rebel tells me that it "cannot play back image" on the camera and then if I try and upload images it will do some fine, others not at all and then some will only be half the picture. What's going on and how do I fix it?

It sounds like a bad memorycard, or a memorycard with damaged file-structure. Try formatting the card in the camera. If that doesn't solve the problem, the card is most likely faulty. \015\012Damaged file-structure can occur if you open the car ...

My LCD screen on my Canon Power shot G3 is blank (just white). There are no icons; no viewing of things I wish to photograph. I called customer support they said there was no problem with the CCD image sensor on G series cameras per the Canon service letter of 10/6/05.I would have to pay about $135 plus shipping to get it fixed or trade for another camera which would cost me money also. I'm not happy with this because I assumed that Canon would fix the problem if it appeared on the G series. Ple

If the CCD were bad and everything else OK, you would see all the icons on the LCD (viewing screen), and you would be able to see images on the memory card that had been taken in the past while in Replay mode. The service letter you refer to covers r ...

I have owned a Canon G9 for a couple years. I dropped it back in May. Lens wouldn't retract. Did research - must get it fixed professionally. Instead of sending to CANON - I sent to Teleplan Digital Camera Repair (worthless hucksters) to save some money. STUPID! Horrible experience - just now received my camera back after them having it back and forth since June.
